Child in Hancock County Charms Birds in Ohio
A Harrisburg area child in Hancock County three miles west of Mount Blanchard, a remarkable girl of about ye years, reportedly charms birds. Snow birds and other feathered visitors flock to her, resting on her hands and head. The mother, initially cautious, observed birds returning when doors opened. Birds remained around the home all winter and behaved calmly near the girl, leading locals to fear misfortune. The family, poor and reticent, has kept details limited though reports persist of bird companionship. Forest and Breeze notes likely superstition surrounding the phenomenon.
